Could be, I think 285 is what they penciled him in as at LSU. I just went by what info I could find though, newspaper data from 1992 cited him at 301/303 as a rookie based on what they claim was two weigh-ins a few weeks apart coming into the season.
The amount of information I have citing Wilt at 300+ for various seasons is extensive. Even seasons that specify he's up or down a few pounds from one to the other and give exact numbers, even articles that point out how "he looks rangy from afar but he weighs ____ / looks huge up close".

Maybe it's just how you look when you've got long limbs and a towering frame. His shoulders and arms look massive.
Scaled images of Deandre Jordan and Wilt when Wilt was a 258lb rookie, and again the Lakers years when he claims he was about 300-310lbs.
Deandre Jordan's 6' 9.75" without shoes, has a 7' 6" armspan, and is listed at 265lbs.
Hmmm idk they look about the same relative difference in height to me when I squint my eyes - no? All I did was make it so the basketball in their hands was identical in size. So assuming the cameras used were similar/similar angle, and that the basketballs are the same size, it should be pretty close.That scale between DeAndre & Wilt seems a bit off, here's Enes Kanter & Rudy Gobert -
Rudy was 7'0.5" without shoes and Kanter was 6'9.75" almost exactly.
Not sure if you're laughing at me or the OP but this is 6'1, 220lb Adrian Peterson. NFL lists him as 5% bodyfat but it's well known this is bluffed, 5% bodyfat isn't sustainable for anything other than a few days to do a bodybuilding contest. He's closer to 10 percent.
Have no idea how much muscle weighs brehs
I'm 300 at 6'7 and I still look skinny to a lot of people
This is not true. I don't know how you even come up with that number. But you have to know about the square cube law. As things get larger in one dimension if all else stays equal they also get relatively heavier it's not linear.Not sure if you're laughing at me or the OP but this is 6'1, 220lb Adrian Peterson.

The equivalent weight for a 7 foot 1 inch man would be roughly 256 lbs. Does Wilt Chamberlain even at his biggest look anything close to AP? And some of you are trying to say he was 300+ lbs lean?
And before you give the "hard to fill out a tall frame" excuse, go look at Karl Malone.
